On June 1st a passport will be needed to cross the Mexico/US border instead of just a birth certificate and driver’s license, an immigration regulation that disproportionately affects Latinos. From the Associated Press:
The citizenship of hundreds, possibly thousands, of people who insist they are Americans is being called into question because they were delivered by midwives near the U.S.-Mexico border. The federal government’s doubts have arisen as many people in the border region try to meet a June 1 deadline to obtain U.S. passports so they can freely cross from one country to the other.
